Used Book in Good Condition
Getting some experience in the domain (biology) is important. In most cases, you'll be supporting biologists who have PhD and are likely writing grants. So yeah, if you can do that in your school's labs, that's great!
Take a look at this book too:

it explains some science along with algorithms. It's been a while, so there may be more popular books by now.
Depending how serious you are about this field in the long term, I would recommend getting a PhD yourself. I was in this field in the non-profit sector and I was essentially a cost center. I had a masters in bioinformatics, but I couldn't actually write grants to get my own funding. As a result, it wasn't ever a priority to grow my role or focus on improving the organization's bioinformatics capabilities. There were a couple of CS/bioinformatics PhD's who were writing their own grants applications; however, they are much more rare.
It's a really challenging and really rewarding field!!
